Pulse power and waveform context
The 1.5SMC33CA V7G: Rated for 1500 W peak pulse power under the standard 10/1000 µs exponential waveform — this is the industry benchmark for telecom surge testing per ITU-T K.20/K.21 and GR-1089. The 34 A peak pulse current is the corresponding current the diode must sink at the clamping voltage; a lower-impedance surge source will drive more current, so the designer must verify the source impedance keeps the diode within its power rating.
